Pretty much yes. If it's not getting splashed constantly. Try it for the sake of £15. Worst case you need to put another plug on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case you need to put another plug on. Ok . So spray both bits . Wait . See corrosion disappear. Plug it back together and it’s all good . If that works - it’s (expletive deleted)ing magic !

Our instructions were to stretch the tape to half its width to ensure “amalgamation” (it turns into a solid lump of rubber). It’s what I wrapped my insulated ASHP pipes outdoors.

Pocster Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 F me acf50 worked ! I was sceptical because after spraying then cleaning with a cotton bud the connections still looked discoloured . But what now ? . I could ( as mentioned ) fill it with Vaseline - but won’t that dry out ? Any kind of box ( unless airtight ! ) will still be subject to atmospheric corrosion on the connectors ….

Kelvin Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I cut a small hole in the bottom of a thick ziplok type bag and taped it all tightly. The issue I have is a lack of space to feed all this through behind the cladding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Pay attention to the rear entry points marked red. You can easily get moisture in them through capillary action. You'll probably be good with just the ACF-50 for a couple of years but a smear of silicone grease never goes amiss. https://www.amazon.co.uk/servisol-AV-701-143UK-Silicone-Grease-50-White/dp/B0058223PU/ref=asc_df_B0058223PU/? Deffo wrap the whole lot in amalgamating tape past those red marked bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
